President's Signatures.

An autograph collector says that Of the
Presidential autograph letters those Of
Andrew Jackson are the rarest and cost.
liest. This is because he seldom wrote
letters, never when he could help it,
The fact that his letters were often both
written and signed by proxy is known 10
collectors, and q paper of this sort recent
ly sold for t3. A full genuine letter is
worth from $25 upward. Washington's
letters come next in value and rareness
Next come the letters of Zachary Taylor,
who wrote a bad hand and bad letter
They are worth from sl5 TO- s25. Lin
coins letters come next in rareness, and
range from $l2 to $50. Grants are high
priced, not because rare, but because
they are Grants. Arthur's letters are
scarce. They haven't had time TO find
their way into the hands Of strangers.
Twenty years from now they will be
commoner.-N. Y. Sun.

A Freight Car Famine.

"The freight car famine is getting
worse and worse every day instead Of
getting better" said an official Of the
Pennsylvania company on Tuesday. "To-
day we are short 400 cars in the coke
region, and I understand the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company also are short
$50. Here are $50 cars on the two roads
alone which are wanted to-day, and the
prospects are that the coke men will
keep on wanting them. These figures do
not represent what are needed on the
Baltimore x Ohio and other roads, and il
is safe to say that there are 1000 cars
short day in the region. A committee
OF coleman was in here a few minutes
ago asking as to do something to relieve
them, but We are powerless TO do so.
We are handling what cars we have as
as possible, and as soon as
they are loaded We rush them to the
consignees and then hurry them back
again to the shippers. On our system
west OF Pittsburgh and right in this vi
cinity We have been short 5000 cars q
day for over a week"

age license Of Charles jackson and Laura

POKER In Dakota.
The Game that Settled tho Lees.
ties OF the Capital.

A story Is told Of game Of poker that
moved the capital Of Dakota. 1t was at
the memorable winter session at Yank.
ton, where several towns were pitted
against one another az TO which should
secure the coveted honor. II happened
that two towns were tied on the vote, and
single additional ballot would have Sc
cured the prize for either. 1t was in this
condition of affairs that Job was put up
TO secure the single lacking vote by in
weighing a poker-loving member into .
game of draw.
There were four In the party-thres
from one OF the rival towns, and the pro-
posed victim from the other. The game
was in an upper room Of hotel, and play
was high and furious, as the participants
had full purses. The great game Was
after while opened with 800 in the
pot. 1t had been agreed to give tho
victim a fine hand and TO give one Of tho
other three conspirators hand that
would beat it. He got the hand, looked
at it, and said, as he raised his ante: 1T
will take 500 TO draw cards." ..s .s..
The other two conspirators passed out
and the victim was raised 800. They
see-sawed until $1,000 was up, when they
drew. The conspirator took one card to
four kings. The victim hesitated and
finally drew three. Then the betting be-
gan and did not stop till " 200 more was
on the table. Then the conspirator made
his side even and said: ... .....
81 am out Of money, but III raise you
100 acres Of land in Beadle county. No,
I won't either, but I'll tell you what I
will do-Pll bet you my vote on the
capital"
"Done z said the victim, and the hands
were spF6Ad out. The conspirator had
four kings and reached for the pot.
"Hold on" said the victim, as he laid
down four aces. "Your vote will bring
the capital to Bismarck" and it did.
His hand had been q queen full on
aces, aud he discarded the queens, but
where he got the aces nobody could tell.

The British Legation Mail.

The British Minister seldom uses the
telegraph or the cable for his most inn
portant communications, although such
are OF course sent in cipher. He has .
special messenger who goes TO New York
regularly with his papers for his home
government. These are placed in the
custody OF an agent on board one OF the
Cunards, who, in turn, hands them over
to representative OF the Foreign Office
at Liverpool. 1t is not known that anyof
the other foreign representatives at the
Capital take such extraordinary precau-
tons. All use the cable freely, and all
seem 10 be vel! satisfied with the service.
One Of the features of legation life il the
regular arrival Of the mail bag from
abroad. The mail comes through the
State Department, and the bag, which ID
always sealed, 10 delivered intact to the
foreigners. Not only does the bag con-
tain the official mail, but oil sorts Of
articles. know several legation men
who bring oil their wearing apparel from
abroad through the official mail. Many

London. Charles Dickens used to say
that when he wanted "brightening up"
